How to Submit Inventory Information
Here's the summary version. Please read the details below very carefully.
Details - PLEASE READ
Inventory sheets will need to be filled out and updated when entering or removing artwork.
Download Excel: YOURNAME-SAA-shop-inventory-spreadsheet.xlsx
Download Instruction PDF: gallery-shop-inventory-instructions.docx
- On a device with MS Office, simply click on the form link above to download the spreadsheet file.
- On a Mac without Office, click on the link above. It will open in "Numbers". When it is open you will notice you cannot use it yet. Hit the download icon in the top right corner. This will bring a little rectangular window to the bottom left of your screen, as when you download anything. If you click on it to open it, it will automatically switch to the "numbers" program. The spread sheet is now workable for you to use. After completing the inventory, you then "share" document with shop@salemarts.org - but a little window pops up asking if you would like to convert it back to the original excel form and the answer is YES
- On an iPad without Office, you can download Apple's spreadsheet program - "numbers" - if you're running IOS 11 (as of this writing). Then proceed as above for a Mac. Alas, Apple no longer supports new installation of Numbers for older versions of IOS.
- Microsoft Office also offers IOS apps for iPhone and iPad and Android.
- If you do not have a spreadsheet app on your device, you can use "Google Sheets". Just save the spreadsheet to your device, go to "google sheets". Start a new blank sheet. click "File->open", then "upload" and select the saved file.
- If you really cannot produce a spreadsheet, you can click here to print this form, then fill it out and someone at SAA will create the spreadsheet for you.
Drop Off at Salem Arts
Deliver inventory to shop, along with a printed copy of the completed Shop Take-in Form on designated drop off day or by appointment.
If you can not print please let us know when you send your files and we can print at the gallery during take in times.

The Gallery Shop will make every attempt to give equal display opportunity to all artists accepted. However, it is a juried decision on acceptable art and will also depend on space available. Decisions are made solely by the retail shop committee.
